Risk Change Over Time
- Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 1The accounting method for the Convertible Notes could adversely affect our reported financial condition and results.
The accounting method for reflecting the Convertible Notes on our balance sheet, accruing amortized interest expense for the Convertible Notes and reflecting the underlying shares of our common stock in our reported diluted earnings per share may adversely affect our reported earnings and financial condition. If the conversion features of the Convertible Notes are required to be separately valued and accounted for, the accounting conclusion could impact earnings. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, we expect that the Convertible Notes will be reflected as a liability on our balance sheets, with the initial carrying amount equal to the principal amount of the Convertible Notes, net of issuance costs. The issuance costs will be treated as a debt discount for accounting purposes, which will be amortized into interest expense over the term of the Convertible Notes. As a result of this amortization, the interest expense we expect to recognize for the Convertible Notes for accounting purposes will be greater than the cash interest payments we will pay on the Convertible Notes, which will result in lower reported net income or larger reported net loss. In addition, we expect that the shares underlying the Convertible Notes will be reflected in our diluted earnings per share using the "if converted" method. Under that method, diluted earnings per share would generally be calculated assuming that all the Convertible Notes were converted solely into shares of our common stock at the beginning of the reporting period, unless the result would be anti-dilutive. The application of the if-converted method may reduce our reported diluted earnings per share, and accounting standards may change in the future in a manner that may adversely affect our diluted earnings per share. Furthermore, if any of the conditions to the convertibility of the Convertible Notes are satisfied, then we may be required under applicable accounting standards to reclassify the liability carrying value of the Convertible Notes as a current, rather than a long-term, liability. This reclassification could be required even if no noteholders convert their Convertible Notes and could materially reduce our reported working capital. We have not reached a final determination regarding the accounting treatment for the Convertible Notes, and the description above is preliminary. Accordingly, we may account for the Convertible Notes in a manner that is significantly different than described above. We cannot be certain whether other changes may be made to the current accounting standards related to the Convertible Notes, or otherwise, that could have a material effect on our operating results.
- Debt & Financing - Risk 2Conversion of the Convertible Notes will dilute the ownership interest of existing stockholders or may otherwise depress the price of our common stock.
The conversion of some or all of the Convertible Notes will dilute the ownership interests of existing stockholders to the extent we deliver shares of our common stock upon conversion of any of the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes may from time to time in the future be convertible at the option of their holders prior to their scheduled terms under certain circumstances. Any sales in the public market of the common stock issuable upon such conversion could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock. In addition, the existence of the Convertible Notes may encourage short selling by market participants because the conversion of the Convertible Notes could be used to satisfy short positions, and the anticipated conversion of the Convertible Notes into shares of our common stock could depress the price of our common stock.
- Debt & Financing - Risk 3The contemplated amendment to the Revolving Credit Agreement may not be consummated, or may be consummated on terms that are less favorable to us.
We have received commitments from Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, PNC Bank, National Association, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. to amend and extend $300 million of the Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Revolving Credit Agreement Amendment"). The closing of the Revolving Credit Agreement Amendment is subject to market and other conditions, and there can be no assurance that the closing of the Revolving Credit Agreement Amendment will occur on the terms described herein, or at all. If we are able to enter into the Revolving Credit Agreement Amendment, the terms of the amendment may contain terms and covenants that restrict our financial and operating flexibility. If we are unable to enter into the Revolving Credit Agreement Amendment prior to the maturity of our Revolving Credit Agreement, we may need to refinance our Revolving Credit Agreement and may not be able to do so on favorable terms or at all. Our inability to enter into the Revolving Credit Agreement Amendment or to otherwise refinance our Revolving Credit Agreement on commercially reasonable terms or at all could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations and could impair our ability to satisfy our obligations under the notes.
- Debt & Financing - Risk 4The conditional conversion feature of the Convertible Notes, if triggered, may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.
In the event the conditional conversion feature of the Convertible Notes is triggered, holders of the Convertible Notes will be entitled to convert their Convertible Notes at any time during specified periods at their option. If one or more holders elect to convert their Convertible Notes, unless we elect to satisfy our conversion obligation by delivering solely shares of our common stock (other than paying cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share), we would be required to settle a portion or all of our conversion obligation in cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity. In addition, even if holders of the Convertible Notes do not elect to convert their Convertible Notes, we could be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the Convertible Notes as a current rather than long-term liability, which would result in a material reduction of our net working capital.

Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 36
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1Our common stock has experienced, and may continue to experience, trading price and volume volatility.
The trading price and volume of our common stock has been and may continue to be subject to large fluctuations. The market price and volume of our common stock may increase or decrease in response to a number of events and factors, including: ?Trends in our industry and the markets in which we operate;?Changes in the market price of the products we sell;?The introduction of new technologies or products by us or our competitors;?Changes in expectations for our future financial performance or operating results, including financial estimates or expectations of securities analysts and investors;?Announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, financings or capital commitments;?Changes in laws and regulations;?Any announcement that we plan to issue additional equity to the public;?General economic and competitive conditions; and ?Changes in key management personnel. This volatility may adversely affect the prices of our common stock regardless of our operating performance. To the extent that the price of our common stock declines, our ability to raise funds through the issuance of equity or otherwise use our common stock as consideration will be reduced. These factors may limit our ability to implement our operating and growth plans. Also, shareholders may from time to time engage in proxy solicitations, advance shareholder proposals or otherwise attempt to effect changes or acquire control over the Company. Such shareholder campaigns could disrupt our operations and divert the attention of our Board of Directors, senior management and employees from the pursuit of business strategies and adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
